PopArt83 - Dan Faco

Daniela Facoetti was born in Bergamo. She attended the Manzù Art Academy in Bergamo and the School of Comics and Illustration at the Castello Sforzesco in Milan. Throughout her life she has always dedicated herself to creating artwork in various techniques, from simple pencil drawing, to using chalks to draw large walls, to airbrushing on motorbikes and helmets, also appearing in motorbike and custom Freewey magazines.

Since 2016, he has been exhibiting in locations in Milan, Verona and Bergamo.

On 26 October 2018, he took part in the group exhibition: 'Art shows itself' at Palazzo Ferrajoli in Rome

Since 2020, he has exhibited in various private locations and is an integral part of the 'Art in box' project conceived by Moon Events in Alessandria, Monza and Seregno.

From 15 July to 23 July 2020 he exhibited at the exhibition: 'Bateau Tiberi' on the Gilda boat in Rome, curated by Luigi Rosa. From 27 July onwards, some of the artist's works are exhibited at Pita in Monza, Gotta barbieri in Alessandria, Golf Des Iles Borromées and Hotel Lido in Angera.

Dan is a real hurricane, initially painting colourful works mainly comics with common subjects such as Lupin and others easily accessible, two-dimensional and simple subjects that immediately attracted attention. The strokes were clean, sharp, without smudges. Gradually, the two-dimensional and monochromatic of the early paintings gave way to the chromatic tone, a single voice, the warm and passionate red, or the cold and clear blue that stand out like solo voices in a chorus of grey shades. His works are acrylics on poplar wood, most often of large dimensions.

Dan is in a word Pop in his works manifest concrete references to Andy Warhol in the choice of subjects and themes repeated from film icons to brands and advertising slogans that appear here and there on the backgrounds, casually marginal, but in reality concrete keys to the themes narrated.

Pop is a way of life, a way of being that invests art with a great task, that of stopping the banal everyday life in moments that last forever, in faces, in gestures, in winking glances that observe us and in mouths that would like to speak, but cannot, but in recent works one can catch drips and splashes of colour that evoke concrete and definitively iconic gestures à la Jackson Pollok.

Here, Dan's works are so cheeky, unique and irreverent that they fit into any environment.
